AbstractA substitution of La3+ by Sr2+ in LaCoO3 induces holes in the low-spin ground state of the Co ions, which behave like magnetic impurities with a very high spin value (13 μB per hole). In this work, using single-crystal neutron spectroscopy, we prove that the charges introduced by strontium doping do not remain localized at the cobalt sites. Instead, each hole not only creates Co4+ in low-spin state, but it also transforms the six nearest neighboring Co3+ ions to the intermediate-spin state thereby forming a magnetic seven-site (heptamer) polaron. Spin-state polarons behave like magnetic nanoparticles embedded in an insulating nonmagnetic matrix. Therefore, lightly doped La1-xSrxCoO3 is a natural analog to artificial structures composed of ferromagnetic particles in insulating matrices.

The structures of nine iron complexes that show a diversity of experimentally observed spin ground states are optimized and analyzed with Density Functional Theory (DFT). An extensive validation study of the new S12g functional is performed, with the discussion concerning the influence of the environment, geometry and its overall performance based on the comparison with the well proven OPBE functional. The OPBE and S12g functionals give the correct spin ground state for all investigated iron complexes. Since S12g performs remarkably well it can be considered a reliable tool for studying spin state energetics in complicated transition metal systems.

AbstractThe origin of the displacement of the Fe atom in deoxymyoglobin with respect to the porphyrin plane in the high-spin state is examined by a qualitative molecular orbital (MO) analysis on the extended Hückel level. We find that attachment of a fifth ligand (imidazole in our model complex) to Fe(II)porphyrin favors the out-of-plane shift due to a strengthening of the bonding interaction between Fe and the nitrogen of the imidazole ligand. This results in a high-spin (5 = 2) ground state with Fe shifted out-of-plane for the five-coordinate complex instead of an intermediate spin ground state (5 = 1) with Fe lying in the plane for four-coordinate Fe(II)porphyrin. The relative energies of the different spin states as a function of the distance between Fe and the porphyrin plane are evaluated using an ROHF (restricted open shell Hartree-Fock) version of an INDO (intermediate neglect of differential overlap) method. We observe a level crossing between high-spin and intermediate spin states whereas the low-spin (5 = 0) state remains always higher in energy.
